Could be, but it looks like the position of the sun is casting the tree shadows in the upper left portion in the same direction of the shadow on the dome and the building near it as well as the building on the left side of the dome in the bottom portion. The shadowy part of the cloud is consistent with the rest of the shadows in the picture as well.

Also, some of the buildings on top of the hill are projecting upwards into the smoke, would would indicate that the top half was not a cut and paste, but may be a legitimate picture. The pixilization of the top part of the landscape next to the smoke is consistent with the fading of sharpness and detail as it should be, compared with the sharper bottom part.

I think I'd give the photo a pass.
